It sounds very similar to a mate I had back in school, his family decided to make a safari trip to Tanzania. Was walking through the bush, apparently had a fight or something with his dad, so he got a pretty good distance from them, and got nailed by a Black Mamba. The guide knew exactly what happened, and when he got him pulled away from the snake, as he was opening the med kit to grab the anti venom, he got in a rush and spilled the med kit on the ground, none of the vials survived the fall. Got him to the hospital, and was pronounced dead on arrival. Sad story, I always felt terrible for his dad.
